Study Notes
Bacterial Pathogenicity
- Toxigenesis in bacteria is associated with the production of toxins, which can cause harm to the host.
- Invasiveness in bacteria is related to the ability of bacteria to penetrate and multiply within host tissues, causing infection.
- A unique structural component associated with pathogenicity in bacteria is the capsule, which helps bacteria to evade the host's immune system.
- Toxins produced by bacteria may be transported by blood and lymph, causing cytotoxic effects at tissue sites remote from the original point of invasion or growth.
- Pathogenicity in bacteria involves the ability of bacteria to cause disease, including the production of toxins, invasion of host tissues, and evasion of the host's immune system.
